Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Lyric

When Trump Tweets

(Played to the tune, “When Sly Calls,”
by Michael Franks)

When Trump tweets,
Mo’ scowls furrow

When Trump tweets,
the scandals grow

As rumors shake,
idle sits the Boss
Bankrupt morality
is the grifter cost

When Trump tweets,
the rubles spin

When Trump tweets,
the dictators win

Decorum falls,
indecency begins
And on Fox tv the jokers grin
to complete the mockery of Stalin democracy each time

When Trump tweets

(Don’t touch that send)	     Dub over Chorus
(Don’t touch that send)
(Don’t touch that send)
(Don’t touch that send)

His fingers are near,	             Chorus:
tapping out his ego rage
The words you fear
darken the digital stage

He’s flying north
for rallies and taunting
(A gambling resort)
Listen to the message when comes the chortling
(Don’t you dare touch that send)
When you reach the
(Don’t you dare touch that send)
When you reach the
(Don’t you dare touch that send)
When you reach the end

(Trump voice-over sounding upbeat)

Hello, citizens ...
I got some bad news for you

When Trump tweets,
underdog becomes top cat

When Trump tweets,
rat packs now gnaw attack

As rumors quake,
Enquirer minds doubt
His ‘Publican house 
fears impeach fallout

When Trump tweets,
Putin truth is Oval spoken

When Trump tweets,
debts due come Russian in

Chaos is replete,
as normalcy fades
Lower the bar for scruple downgrades
Then parrot snooze with no canary alarm to coal mine choose

When Trump tweets

(Don’t touch that send)
(Don’t touch that send)
(Don’t touch that send)
(Don’t touch that send)          Repeat Dub over Chorus

Repeat Chorus

Hannah Borke November 26, 2019 at 9:26 AM I disagree. He is unpolished, but he’s at least real. He is confident, not arrogant. He’s trying to help the country, and not out for himself. Let’s hope he succeeds.

Lisle Ryder November 18, 2019 at 6:31 AM Good to see yours on Trump. How Putin must laugh (or smirk). I'm sure he is at it with anonymous messages delivering fake news for our UK General Election as with confounding US politics.

Alexis Y. November 16, 2019 at 10:35 AM Hey Freddie, I really enjoyed this "lyrical" roast. Politicians usually say and do the opposite of what they say they're going to do. They promise their potential voters the world to get elected. Trump needs stop with all those tweets! Your lyrics works well the song " When Sly Calls" As always great job my friend. Have a great weekend:-) Alexis

Gershon Wolf November 12, 2019 at 4:29 PM Comical, clever parody of the Chief XXX... And t's all too true. Way to go, Freddie!... This too will pass, Gershon

Winged Warrior November 12, 2019 at 9:31 AM Remember, Trump is worth 7 Billion...he can afford to tweet LOL...but you, my poetic brah are worth more...well-executed ready Freddie...^WW^ :o)

Richard Lamoureux November 12, 2019 at 8:21 AM Right on brother. You could call it Trump & the Tweet Tweets.

Fred Jagenberg November 12, 2019 at 6:23 AM Amazing work Freddie! Love it!
